This is perhaps one of the killer app features. Because it plays to the strength of large language models: they "know" a lot and this in an associative way. They are often wrong, but you can point it out and they are "open" in accepting your input. Also, sometimes we need to talk about our thoughts and sometimes we are a bit lonely even if we have a busy social life because our friends and family don't have the same depth on some subjects. The last year or so I got to learn more profound things about many things. It takes time because I make sure to cross-check, and often I come back with follow-ups because I found something weird when cross-checking. I also have the stance that truth is ultimately empty. Better criterions are happiness and usefulness. For me these are closely related to truth, but are easier to fathom. So if I believe my robot made a mistake, I politely point it out and tell it why, and often it comes back with additional interesting thoughts with the correction. Sometimes I ask about Flat Earth myths, like this, last time I flew with a plane I didn't see the curvatures, so Earth must be flat. This is a check that the large language model isn't too groveling. It helps if you have respect, not neccessarily to it as an individual but more to the effort inside the system. Then it doesn't feel too weird to say "Thank you" or "Sorry". I think it feels build up a good mindset of talking with it. You will come back a bit happier from a conversation. EDIT: proofreading
